Welcome to The Reiki Chapel

I am Manbo Marie Lucie

I created The Reiki Chapel to provide offerings for you to build your chi, practice mental and emotional hygiene and deepen your connection with the life giving forces that walk with you and reside within you. My hope is that these offerings will help you to navigate your human journey with grace, ease and power. 

What is Reiki?

The word Ki or Chi has multiple meanings in Japanese tradition, it represents soil, blood or wisdom. In Chinese medicine Chi is  the vital energy or life force that permeates all living beings and the universe. In the Igbo tradition Chi refers to God.

I describe Reiki as the practice of utilizing somatic, ancestral and cosmic technology to preserve and raise your personal life force, your heritage and your divine energy.  

We are electric beings. At the base level, Reiki is a “laying of the hands” method for using our own electrical energy or Chi that each of us are able to cultivate to help ourselves and our loved ones heal day to day tension. 

On a deeper level Reiki is a vehicle programmed by the ancestors and the cosmos to help you self actualize through clear instructions and guidance. This intelligence guides you through the spiritual obstacles and karma operating in your spiritual body known as the chakras.

Here are a few reasons to book a Reiki bath or tune up:

  • You’ve been feeling a little dull and foggy 

  • You want your energy to feel clear and flowing

  • You’ve been stressed and overthinking

  • You’ve just been through an emotionally or spiritually taxing experience

  • You’re curious to see if Reiki may be a complimentary service  to add to your wellness routine

How does Reiki help you heal?

  • Reiki is an instrument for managing stress and clearing stagnant emotional wounds leading to improved mental health. 

    Accumulated stress, grief and tension causes your auric field to become distorted and incoherent. When your energetic field is habitually in a distorted condition, it negatively impacts your mental wellness, leading you to become increasingly disoriented. When you’re feeling so out of touch with your senses, it may cause you to become hypervigilant (fearful), operating from a state of fight, flight or freeze. The acute states of hypervigilance are what we refer to as low vibration. Similar to a tuning fork, Reiki works to clear the static and harmonize the distortions in your energetic field thereby enabling your auric field to be coherent (clear vibration). 

    From this sound state you’re able to recognize, address and release the emotions, thoughts and perceptions that are the underlying cause of your mental health issues including (non-clinical) anxiety or depression.* 

    *Clinical anxiety and depression often need multiple interventions over time to fully heal. 

  • The human body generates electricity. The electric current in the body generates an electromagnetic field. When you are in tune with your emotions, with your creativity and your heart's desires you are able to attract experiences that are in alignment with your wants and needs. Reiki enhances your magnetism by clearing the static and friction in your auric field.

    *Sometimes we are born into this lifetime with karma (a specific assignment) that needs tending to and it overwhelms our efforts to attract and create our desires. In those times shadow work is required to align with the lessons, talents and experiences that are designed to help you complete this assignment.

  • Somatic symptom disorder refers to a person’s experience of physical symptoms such as pain or fatigue that don’t have a connection to an underlying medical problem and the “extreme” preoccupation with these physical symptoms. 

    The body is both a container and a processor of energy. Energy in the form of food, emotions, thoughts, art and experiences go through a digestive process for the purpose of nourishing, regulating and fueling our human experience on the physiological, emotional and spiritual plane. 

    Each of your organ systems have a physiological, mental and emotional  function to keep you well; they need a complimentary diet, rest and consistent cleansing to function optimally. For example, the heart systems physiological functions include circulating blood throughout the body, on a mental/emotional level it’s function is to maintain trust, compassion, and social connection. Though you may practice healthy habits to maintain physiological heart wellness, poor mental and emotional habits over time lead to detrimental physical problems for the heart system. For instance, If you’re not in the practice of letting go of anger and resentment over time, these emotions overwhelm the heart system, becoming more and more dense until they crystallize into a physical dysfunction such as dizziness and tightness in the chest.  

    Reiki addresses backed up emotional energy to alleviate the stress from your organ system to allow it to process, release toxins and regulate as needed. Regular Reiki sessions along with emotional hygiene will lead to somatic relief.
